{tab=Description}
Description:
Curtis Model 1230 programmable speed controllers provide smooth and seamless control of AC induction motors. An advanced MOSFET power section, combined with a sophisticated micro-processor provides high efficiency and silent operation.
Application:
The Curtis 1230 AC controller is designed for small material handling and other light industrial vehicles using AC induction motors, such as pallet movers, stackers, personnel carriers and sweeper/scrubbers.
